I'm going to slaughter 10 chickens for Mapimpi

While the Springboks are in the Eastern Cape, home province to three of its players, EWN visited the women who raised Makazola Mapimpi. Nofikelipi Mapimpi, his grandmother beams with joy when recounting what it was like to watch her grandson play in the world cup match where the Springboks became world champions.

This is why we need to actualize our dreams as black kids, because so many people are looking at us as symbols of hope. Especially our beloved parents and guardians. Moved beyond.

Your comment is the best thing I would come across... 🔥🔥

Lukhanyo Am. What a noble thing to do. .... Turned a he himself could score chance and immortality to an assist. I reckon he knows who Mapimpi really is.

[@rishigenviranna8080]

The biggest failure of SA Rugby is that they have never supported Border or Eastern Province. This is an area that support rugby over any other sport. There could be schools there that could rival the Grey Bloem or Affies if they had the resources. There could be so many more Springboks!

[@jossiesteenkamp9317]

We are battling here my friend

[@homonaledi640]

Obviously Europians will say "save the chicken" because they prefer to buy meat from Woolies but rural life is different my friends. Those chickens are loved because they lay eggs and feed the fam

[@lightkheswa6600]

You would rather they go buy KFC or chicken Licken, l guess. I am sure those chickens were well taken care of by his granny taking from her pension to buy chicken feed........ They are precious to her and her choosing to slaughter so many is her way of expressing her joy by giving up something precious to her. You have to be black to understand it.
